She sure did do well! A wonderful capture!
Isn’t it just Dot! She came with me to see the pandas and I gave her my Nikon to see how she liked it……..I almost had to wrestle it from her lol

Carol singing Otters!! :D This is such a great picture, she’s a natural.
I think so to Zoe. I was the advisor on which camera ‘Santa’ was to get for her lol :-)

What a marvellous capture by young Brogan! Kids can really surprise you with their perspective on things. I got Colin his first real camera (a wee Canon Elph APS) when he was 5 and some of his shots were amazing. Then there was the 35mm SLR with a 28 to 100 and 70 to 300 when he was 8. Now he’s using my old Sony Alpha 100 DLSR!
I work with her Dad, so I was ’Santa’s Helper’ on a choice of camera. I also took her to see the pandas as I was given ‘staff privileges’ !!! I gave her my camera (much to her surprise) and told her to “do what she wanted” lol
In return I got a HUGE hug……….payment indeed .

Ray says ‘So that’s what Herdwicks look like without their overcoats….’ But seriously, folks. Way to go Brogan. This is a definite keeper!! Or maybe they need a keeper.
She had never seen Otters on land before…..so I got these Herdwicks to have a haircut !!!
Thank you very much on her behalf My friend x

I do hope that they find their way to Otters and Meerkats :-)
You and I will visit these wee guys and hopefully some new additions!!
Thank you on Brogans behalf :-)
